To identify systemically detectable vascular inflammation associated to redox system unbalance, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), formed by HClO reaction with proteins, Thiol levels, and their ratio (AOPP/Thiol ratio) were measured in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We evalua...
